Mount Allison Rink Association (1889-1893)
The Tantramar Skating Rink, which was built in 1876, was owned at first by the man who built it, Nelson Beckwith, Jr. In January 1889, Mount Allison students bought stock, took over management of the rink, and formed the Mount Allison Rink Association. This enabled students to have more access to the rink for skating and other entertainment, such as 'Band Nights.' Students were able to sell their stock and opt out of the management of the rink if they wished.
After two years, the Rink Association saw an increase in the number of people visiting the rink, both from Mount Allison and from the town. The rink, however, was destroyed by fire in autumn 1893, and the Rink Association dissolved before a new town rink was built in 1896.
